Around Auburn: Volume II (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781531641450)

As the companion volume to Around Auburn, this pictorial history chronicles the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries in Auburn, New York. Local historian Stephanie E. Przybylek has compiled another
impressive collection of images in a joint effort with the Cayuga Museum to preserve the history of Auburn. Around Auburn Volume II features images from the museum, the Community Preservation Committee, and private collections. Included in this volume are views of Genesee Street in the bustling 1920s, interior shots of the McIntosh & Seymour factory, and
Lakeside Park and Enna Jettick Park, amusement parks
that served as summer playgrounds for generations of local residents on the shores of Owasco Lake. The
strong community bonds created by the hardship of the Great Depression and two world wars are documented, as well as immigration in the early
twentieth century, which added rich ethnic and cultural contrasts to Auburn.
